Great times for the stock market!
horrible about the virus and we will get through it and things will be back to normal.
Sorry to say that lots of suffering with the virus. But because of the panic, opportunities abound in the market.
One of the best times to buy in recent years.

For those who can afford it. For our consumer-addled societies living from pay check to pay check, to eyebrows in debt, not so much.
The last thing I need is another gun. I'm giving mine away to family and friends to ease the burden of too many possessions.

I was buying on Thursday, but I am young and can afford to be wrong.

It is.
We are looking at homes in coastal Florida , as a winter get away place.
Since we arrived, the market collapse makes a whole lot more available.
People living large off 401ks have to make painful choices.
Or cut into the bone.
Out there doing it best I can.

Better ask Eightbore first, he brags like he has omnipotent understanding of the stock market in addition to vast wealth. At least he brags as such, in addition to bragging about all his fine guns 🤔. Think hes making money when the DOW drops 3,000 points in one day, like TODAY? Others are miserable. Selling short there, Eightbore???
Socialism is almost the worst.

Anyone who didnt see this coming.....11 yr bull run, frothy as all hell, state of the world...
Been building cash for approximately a year and a half. Little over half of my portfolio. Still not buying. Selling OTM puts. Huge premiums. Anything Im long in has a healthy balance sheet and paying a well covered dividend. Not even remotely worried about it. Fat stacks to be made in a market like this. Anyone who got caught should have had insurance. It aint rocket surgery.

Wife and I moved our retirement over into safer instruments when the market hit 28,000 so I missed the peak by a clear 1,000 points. She was asking me tonight have I started buying stocks yet. She knows me too well. Told her I am going to wait until after Holt's next auction and see if any money is left.
Seriously if you have money on hand it is not unreasonable to start thinking about buying stocks soon. Today is not the time but let it drop another 10% and start looking for real values. Not as some fast buck, flip them and make a killing, but as a five to ten year plan for long term growth. If you have 20 years even better. I don't. Do you think Apple is done making money. When their stock drops 50% in a panic market it is time to look at buying more. It worked in 2008 and I expect it to work again, let it grow and reinvest to compound.
